| Cindy’s Katrina Relief: $17K For Media Equip, $0 For Katrina Victims |
| 10.05.05 (9:55 am) [edit] |
|
Mother Sheehan fans will recall that as hurricane Katrina threatened to remove her grieving visage from the front page of the nation’s newspapers, Cindy got together with her pals, the Veterans For Peace, to start a Katrina relief effort. Even the self-designated higher being, Michael Moore, began vouching and shilling for Cindy and the VFP’s Katrina relief program. As discussed previously, the VFP asked for donations that they claimed would be used to "support" the Red Cross. (The VFP later falsely claimed that the Red Cross had designated them "the best shelter" doing Katrina relief. Despite the minor fact that the VFP never opened any kind of shelter.) Meanwhile, the VFP accused the Red Cross of gross incompetence and bragged about looting Red Cross supplies and passing them out to the victims themselves. Soon, however, the Red Cross and the local authorities were made aware of the VFP’s claims. The VFP were quickly chased out of the school they were using, then their storage facility, and then even the public campground. In each instance the VFP had lied to those in charge, falsely claiming to be with the Red Cross. Eventually, the VFP scrubbed its sites of most references to their "support" of the Red Cross, but not before collecting untold hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, as well as who knows how much supplies and equipment. As of this writing, the local police, the Red Cross, the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office and the US Department of Justice are reportedly conducting investigations into the VFP’s Katrina activities. Despite their overwhelming success at fundraising, where they claimed to be collecting more than $100K a day, the VFP have apparently thus far spent little or no money helping the victims of Katrina. (Apart from delivering possibly pilfered supplies to the racist Moslem felony ex-con former Black Panther, Malik Rahim.) Lastly, the VFP’s own lawyers accused them of malfeasance, and the VFP in turn fired said lawyers. The Veterans For Peace have long since fled Covington, Louisiana, which was their Katrina relief center. They have even closed down their message board and reportedly fired all the moderators there. Though they continue to ask for donations for their Katrina relief program there and elsewhere on the internet. Here is a recent update from a purported insider, Paul V. Paul alleges that no VFP money has been spent on hurricane relief. But he says the VFP did try to use their money to try to buy $17,000 worth of "media equipment" Via: Sweetness & Light |
